Bolt-on Big brake kit

[PGTBrow]

im pretty sure a set of 98+ 626 E brake lines would work and fit up with the mazda6 rear set up. since the 98+ 626's are a few inch's longer then our chassis. its something that hit me like a month ago on the 626 forum while discussing the mazda6 rear set up.

Anyone confirm this? My old Brembos are rusty and noisy... and I have all the 6 stuff laying around waiting to be put on...

a basic search online answered that. our cars have a 64 inch cable. the 98+ 626's have a 69 11/25's cable. so its about 5 inch's longer. and both ends where they connect is the same. if anything, you just might have to be creative about mounting it. but we dont even know that until someone tries it.

or just run the 626 rear calipers...

but what if you want even larger rear brakes? such ass the speed6 brakes? the 98+ 626's use the same rotors as the 03-05 mazda6. but the 06+ and speed versions are larger. just like there front set ups.

the 98+ 626 rears are what im running. cause i wanted my shit to bolt up without any work. if i had realized the 98+ 626 E brake cables might work earlier, i might have gone speed6 brakes instead.

good point...I hadn't been thinking far enough ahead for when I do the speed 6 brakes, maybe something to play with in the somewhat near future...

[Potblack]

does anyone know exactly how much shorter for the ebrake cable?

[Zepticon]

I will be trying the 98+ Ebrake tips when going for the speed6 brakes on the 626. Thanks for the tip

[MonoxideChild]

good to hear! will be nice to get a sure answer if that will fix the issue or not.

[mx6duncan]

so any news on the 626 ebrake line? i'm dying to hear about this...

[Bergz0]

if i remember correctly i bought speed6 rear calipers and such and they wouldnt bolt up because they were couple cm's off

[MonoxideChild]

speed6 calipers have the same mounting locations as the regular 6's. I actually have a speed6 rear set up waiting to go on my n/a 6, to match the existing speed6 front set up i already have on that car.

Mazda6 bolt-on “Big Brake Kit”

Disc diameter:
03-05 Mazda 6 => 11.1" => Fits no problem with a 16" wheel

Can anyone tell me if this fits a 15" wheel?
I have been running MPV, (273mm vs these at 281) Need new pads and rotors so this would be a good time to do this.
The wheels I use are 626 GE Series 2

Alternatively id someone could give me the furthest point from the centre to the oustside of the caliper... It looks like it would fit but looks and deceive!

[MonoxideChild]

depends on the wheel really, but the 03-05's clear MOST 15's.

[notso swift]

Bit of suck it and see then!
I use to have a car (4WD Laser, same as a BMFR 323) with 286mm over 15's but it was pretty tight, one lump in the wrong place and I can see it wouldn't fit
